Track Insight / Lyrics

Quercus agrifolia shades my bench Roots drink the fog they never clench Salvia mellifera feeds the bee I whisper names to the chaparral sea Salt on the steel loam on the sleeve We watch what the tide and the traffic leave One counts the cars one counts the rings Both know the quiet that waiting brings Fog lifts slow at the morning bell Roots hold the cliff the detective as well Trench coat collar turned against the spray Case file closed at the end of day Highway One curves below my boots Salt rusts the guardrail salt rusts the roots Salt on the steel loam on the sleeve We watch what the tide and the traffic leave One counts the cars one counts the rings Both know the quiet that waiting brings Fog lifts slow at the morning bell Roots hold the cliff the detective as well Arctostaphylos clings to the edge Manzanita bark a ruddy pledge Xylem rises in silent columns While headlights paint the subterranean Badge catches light like a dewdrop lens Hand lens catches light on leaf defense One guards the living one guards the dead Both hold the words the unsaid Radio silent since the midnight call Fog eats the distance eats it all Perp jumped the rail at mile twenty-three Now the sea wind sings his elegy Salt on the steel loam on the sleeve We watch what the tide and the traffic leave One counts the cars one counts the rings Both know the quiet that waiting brings Fog lifts slow at the morning bell Roots hold the cliff the detective as well Eriogonum buckwheat blooms in the crack Tire tracks fade on the shoulder's back Pollinator dusk begins its round Shift change comes with the morning sound Salt on the steel loam on the sleeve We watch what the tide and the traffic leave One counts the cars one counts the rings Both know the quiet that waiting brings Fog lifts slow at the morning bell Roots hold the cliff the detective as well Salt and soil we keep the watch Roots and badge the same quiet notch
